Willow work
I have cleared away all the lavender from the front door pots; and replaced them with this season’s willow.
We only have one willow tree on this farm; it is a small tree just perched above the top vegetable garden where a spring used to be (naturally). And I cut it down the ground each autumn to stop it growing too tall and shading the veg.
I like how the colour changes as it ages. All the branches come from the same source. Yet this year’s crop is an acid yellow. I could strike cuttings, but who on earth wants to have a forest of willow? One tree (stump) is enough.

I agree. I have never lovd willow trees. But these cuttings are gorgeous!

Thank you, Sarah. I thought you would appreciate the colours.
